Space Quest
A progressive journey to Low Earth Orbit through certified rocketry development and launches.
Progressive Certification
Start with Level 1 certification (H and I impulse motors) and progress through advanced stages for suborbital and orbital launches.
Multi-Stage Journey
Structured program starting with F-class motors, progressing through suborbital stages, and culminating in Low Earth Orbit missions.
Safety First
Comprehensive safety protocols and certification requirements at each stage of development.
Certification Levels
Level 1
Certification for H and I impulse class motors (solid and hybrid). Some F and G motors may require this level.
Level 2
Advanced certification for J, K, and L impulse class motors, enabling larger payloads and higher altitudes.
Level 3
Expert certification for M, N, and O impulse class motors, required for suborbital missions.
Level 4
Special certification for orbital launches requiring government permits and advanced propulsion systems.
